If in doubt, throttle out. It"s an old adage used in Car World that quite often ends in disaster. Sometimes just sometimes it"s the recipe that"s needed to break new ground. Just ask Lee O"Donnell, the madman who straps himself into a 1,500bhp 8.0-litre supercharged V8 monster truck and launches, cartwheels and donuts his way into people"s hearts as part of the Monster Jam World tour. Recently, at Monster Jam World Finals XVIII, the VP Racing Fuels Mad Scientist driver was struggling during the Freestyle" section. For the uninitiated, this is when the five-tonne trucks go all b-boy and teeter on the edge of schucks-that"s-not-gone-well" by effortlessly fanging around on two wheels, doing endos and sending such big things far into the air and beyond their design parameters in the name of good ol" entertainment.
